Action Alert: Help Stop Federal Gun Control in North Carolina

North Carolina House Bill 518, the Firearms Freedom Act, is currently in the Judiciary Committee. This bill states that any firearm in the borders of North Carolina is not subject to any Federal Regulation, Law, Order, or Taxation.

As we see many firearm manufacturers threaten to leave states that are making oppressive gun legislation, bills such as H518 are a great step forward. It’s a welcome mat to come to North Carolina.

Passing H518 promotes job growth and protects firearms within the state of North Carolina. Your help is needed to move this bill forward out of committee.

ACTION ITEMS for House Bill 518

1. Contact the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Politely request that he schedule a hearing and vote on H518. Encourage him to vote YES to protect your right to keep and bear arms.

2. Contact the members of the committee. Strongly, but respectfully, let each of them know you want to see a YES vote on H518. Let the committee members know that this is not just a bill to protect firearms in the State of North Carolina. This is also a bill that encourages jobs in manufacturing firearms. Passing this bill can encourage those companies seeking a refuge out of states with oppressive legislation. Tell them to vote YES on H518.

It is my understanding that Speaker Tillis has told the rules committee to hold all gun related legislation so the Senate can propose an Omnibus gun bill. Speaker Tillis has repeatedly put tactics and politics over principle IMO.
